Top-seeded Florida advances to Round of 16

After Sunday's matches, the Ring Tennis Complex won't see anymore action this season. But the exciting part of the season for the Florida women's tennis team is just beginning.
Photo Galleries
The most successful player in the program's history served, volleyed and smashed on the Gator courts for the last time Sunday. But her work, as well as her legacy, is not complete.
The program's leader reached a milestone Sunday. But what he can achieve over the next eight days will trump any individual achievement.
The No. 1-ranked Gators (24-2) had a relatively easy time in Sunday's NCAA second-round match against No. 23 Georgia Tech, winning 4-0.
The victory over Georgia Tech (15-10) encapsulated just how successful the UF women's tennis program has been.
It moves Florida to Friday's Round of 16 against Duke at the University of Illinois, the host school for the NCAA championship. It's the eighth consecutive year and the 13th time in the last 14 years the Gators have advanced to this stage.
Senior No. 1 Lauren Embree earned two points — one in her 6-0, 6-0 win over Elizabeth Kilborn and a second while pairing with Sofie Oyen to beat Megan Kurey and Kendal Woodard 8-6 - in her last appearance on the Linder Stadium courts. It was Embree's 38th straight dual match singles win to improve her singles career to 116-14.
Coach Roland Thornqvist, who didn't find one flaw in his team's effort, earned his 300th career win at Florida.
"I liked the momentum (one point earned in doubles) carried us into the beginning part of singles," said Thornqvist, 300-33 in 12 years as UF coach. "After that I don't think we ever looked back. We looked fit. We moved well. I was pleased with pretty much everything today."
Caroline Hitimana, the other Gator senior, and Alexandra Cercone won the first doubles match of the day at No. 2, easily knocking off Jasmine Minor-Natasha Prokhnevska 8-2.
Freshman Brianna Morgan and Danielle Collins lost their match at No. 3 doubles, 8-4, which left it up to Embree-Oyen to earn the doubles point at No. 1. The two never trailed in the match, but Kurey-Woodard rallied from a 6-3 deficit to get it to 6-5. Being able to handle Woodard's hard serve made a big difference.
Embree took out Kilborn in their singles match in just 59 minutes.
Morgan, at No. 4 singles, was almost as impressive in her 6-1, 6-2 win over Kurey. The freshman set the tone of the match by winning the first five games of the first set.
No. 5 Olivia Janowicz closed it out for Florida with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Muriel Wacker.
Friday against Duke (16-9) will be a rematch for Florida. The Blue Devils are one of the teams that defeated the Gators this season. It is a different Duke team, however, from the one that knocked off Florida 4-0 on Feb. 17. Two of Duke's top players have suffered season-ending injuries.
"No matter what happens now I will be the first guy to shake these players' hands because they have worked really hard with great attitudes and we are rolling up there with seven players ready to go and that is a great feeling," Thornqvist said.

Never tried it but if it's much better than their 12 yr. it must be fantastic because the 12 yr is pretty darn good and not too hard on the wallet either.
I'm drinking the 10 yr. old Glenmorangie. It also is a nice whisky.
Not a huge fan of the whiskies with overwhelming peat. The Lagavulin, Laphroigh and Ardbeg.
Just a hint of smokiness for me.

In response to Salcon's comment:
I'm a big peat fan (I love Lagavulin), but the Highland Park is not overly peaty. It's a nice balance. A little smokiness, but a lot of creamy, smoother flavours too. Really a nice, complex mix of flavour with no single flavour becoming too dominant.
I like the Glenmorangie too, by the way. Nice smooth whisky. In fact, there's a third full bottle sitting right next to the Highland Park bottle. :-)

Well, Happy Birthday!
Really an exceptional, world class whiskey. Chocolate. Oak. Great.
I wish I had a bottle. I have some Balvenie 17 I'm working on, and the obligatory Glenlivet.
For the super expensive stuff, I prefer the Mcallan, vanilla and peat and smoke, as an example of speyside malts. But I always prefer a speysider.

My Father got me a bottle of Highland Park 25... honestly it burns a hole in my stomach. Literally took a shot and think I caught a buzz. It took me 2 years to even crack it open as i waited for a special occasion. Now i got about 3/4 shots left and waiting for another occasion :)

Happy Birthday, Pro. Good selection. Drop a hint to get a St. Magdalene 20 year old from their Waterloo Street Distillery's 100th anniversary for the next major one. Should be on every single malt'ers bucket list. But at a 1000 British pounds a bottle, you had better be a very, very good boy. Not many bottles left.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes (and the cool image TFB12)! Meant to focus more on the whisky than my ever-advancing age, but it's nice to get all the kind thoughts.
My actual birthday is next Sunday, so I'm hoping for another good present--a victory for the Pats over the Panthers (followed by another dram, of course).
Kind of a funny story . . . my wife got the whisky to give me next week on my actual birthday, but she was showing me some funny photos of our new spaniel puppy on her iPhone and scrolled passed what she wanted to show me to a photo of a shopping cart full of wine and beer, with the whisky right on top. She snapped that photo to send to a friend as joke about what she was buying for food for the week. I recognized the Highland Park right away and said something about it, which got a response from my wife: "You bas*ard, I guess I may as well give it to you now." Which, of course, was fine by me, so we shared a nice dram and celebrated a week early.
Maybe I'll get lucky and she'll get me another bottle next week . . . thanks to all your suggestions above, I've got a couple of good hints to drop . . .

Tulsa city leaders thanked those involved in the spring and summer search for a young Florida girl's remains. A 'credible source' told authorities four-year-old Ashani Creighton's body was in the area of 61st Street and Mingo in Tulsa. Detectives from Tulsa and Florida spent weeks searching for her remains in March and May 2012, more than ten years after she was reported missing around 1997. Many volunteers donated their time, their equipment, their skills, and their business space to allow for the investigation to take place along 61st and Mingo.
The mayor thanked them on the city's behalf. Those volunteers included local construction crews, concrete cutters and mixers, forensic students from Oklahoma State University and archeologists from The University of Oklahoma, the employees and business owners along 61st and Mingo, Grand Master Kang, the Gnarly Dog, Sandra Lee's, among many others.
Investigators had to cut out huge holes in some of those businesses floors to search underneath the concrete to find Creighton's remains. "It was very special to bring these people out today so we can offer them some thanks for their commitment and their heart," said Tulsa Police homicide detective Margaret Loveall. "They got out here and worked under some very difficult conditions. It was extremely hot; it was extremely emotional especially, when we became hopeful at some findings and then we'd discover it wasn't what we thought it would be."No one from the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Florida was able to come out for the special thank you from Tulsa city leaders but their names were all mentioned, including one of the lead investigators on the case, Marcus Robinson."When we finally came to those concluding moments where we realized we were going to have to pack up and leave without finding what we really wanted, it was very disappointing," said Loveall. "It was disheartening because people had their heart in this search. It was not a task it was a mission and the mission was not complete. So we are saying thanks today for all the effort people put into this but this is by no means a conclusion to our mission."

The Conform Select™ 10" is a Medium-Firm memory foam gel mattress that cradles your body in pressure relieving conformity. With extra support for light to medium weight individuals and back sleepers, this bed promotes proper spinal alignment for those wanting extra support. With a pressure-relieving SELECT™ Foam comfort layer infused with Gel, the Conform Select™ 10" ensures you'll never get hot and sticky at night. It is up to 83% more breathable than comparable memory foam beds.
The Conform Select™ 10" is a firmer feeling memory foam bed ideal for those wanting extra support. This bed has a 1" thick SELECT™ Foam Gel comfort layer over a 2.5" SELECT™ Foam support layer. This combination provides the right amount conformity for small to medium built individuals. This bed is the sweet spot for most people wanting firmer support in their mattresses. Larger folks, those with broad shoulders, especially those that are side sleepers, should consider the Conform Signature™ 12" as it has the additional foam they may require for spinal alignment.
The Conform Select™ is a medium-firm mattress made with 1" SELECT™ gel foam, a unique memory foam formulation that cradles the body in luxurious cool comfort. A full 2.5" SELECT™ gel foam support layer rests beneath the comfort layer, offering excellent support and proper sleep posture. This mattress also has an airflow chamber to aid in heat dispersion, and comes standard with the silky smooth Dupont CoolMax® cover! The Conform Select™ comes with an orthopedic base foam layer that rests beneath the memory foam layers and provides a strong and firm base. In addition, the base has extra support in the middle of the bed for added back and hip support. After sleeping on the Conform Select™, you'll go through each day with more energy and less pain and stiffness. According to licensed Chiropractor Dr. Tom Maurno, a "person sleeping on a memory foam sleep surface can benefit more from their sleep than a person who sleeps the same amount of time on a traditional mattress."
The unique multi-fiber knit cover of the Conform-Select™ 10" stretches to allow ideal memory foam conformity with your body. The Dupont CoolMax® cover, which assures both a cool AND allergen-free sleep is remarkably soft and comfortable. The zippered cover is also easily removed for quick machine washing. The Dupont CoolMax® stretch cover, using highly advanced fourth-generation woven textiles, gently whisks away moisture as you sleep. Think of it as Under Armour® for your bed. Specially designed using Dupont CoolMax® technology to dissipate heat, the cover works with the airflow layer and our gel-infused SELECT™ foam to keep you cool and comfortable at night.
The Conform Select™ is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. The average mattress doubles in weight over the course of ten years due to dust mites and dead skin cells that accumulate inside the mattress. Fortunately, there is a way to avoid becoming part of this disgusting statistic. Dust mites cannot live in a memory foam mattress. As an added level of protection, the Conform Select™ comes with an inner cover that blocks dust mites, bed bugs, and dust particles from entering your mattress. In addition, the cover is also fire safe, using Select Foam's FlameBlocker technology, keeping you and your loved ones safe. You can also easily remove your mattress cover to clean it, which get's rid of any allergens or dirt that accumulates on the top of the mattress.
This Conform Select™ 10" mattress comes with a Lifetime Warranty. While incredibly rare, in the event that you experience difficulties with your mattress, we will stand behind it. Any indentation in the foam greater than ¾" and we'll replace the mattress at our cost.
You have 90 Nights to try our mattresses, mattress sets, adjustable beds in your home. If you are unsatisfied with your Conform Select™ 10" gel memory foam mattress, we will pick it up at our cost, refunding your complete purchase price. This is the advantage of Free Shipping both ways; only from Select Foam.
Compare the Conform Select™ 10" to Tempurpedic's Contour Select™, and you'll experience the same firmer initial feel and incredible support, but a more consistent sleep experience. TEMPUR Foam is extremely temperature sensitive, meaning it gets extremely firm in cool temperatures and extremely soft in warm temperatures. We've improved on the Tempur design by adding the industry's best gel-infused memory foam-never worry about over-heating!

2005 Hyundai XG350 Trims
4 Dr L Sedan
|Reviews (1)
|Pictures (56)
The 2005 Hyundai XG350 L received an 8-CD changer, hidden in the trunk. Otherwise, there were few changes from 2004. The affordable front-wheel-drive luxury sedan with the 100,000-mile warranty is powered by a 194-hp, 3.5-liter DOHC V6 and 5-speed auto transmission with manual mode. Like the base model, it came standard with 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, automatic headlights, foglights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, 16-inch alloy wheels, and dual front and front-side airbags. It added traction control and the auto-dimming function on all mirrors. Rear seats split-fold 60/40, and the trunk holds around 15 cubic feet and features a cargo net.
It's hard to believe the XG350 L fit so many features in at no extra cost. Moving beyond the base, it added heated seats, memory settings for the power driver's seat and mirrors, a sunroof, and faux wood trim to go along with the leather trim on the doors and steering wheel. Already standard were leather seats, power front seats, full power features, wheel-mounted cruise control, heated mirrors, intermittent wipers, a garage opener, remote entry, and front and rear climate control.
Since it already had so much to offer, there were no options or package add-ons for the 2005 XG350 L. Some drivers wish a navigation system or DVD player had been available as well. Other complaints mention the small trunk. Overwhelmingly, though, owners loved the bargain price for a luxury wannabe, and say the power is peppy and the road noise noticeably reduced. Disappointments include its 18/26 city highway mpg, and the lack of an automatic locking system.
4 Dr STD Sedan

Even the base model of this front-wheel-drive luxury sedan comes well equipped for passenger and driver comfort. The 2005 Hyundai XG350 features a 3.5-liter, 194-hp DOHC V6 that delivers 216 ft-lbs of torque and is paired with a 5-speed shiftable automatic. Four- and five-star crash ratings are a result of standard traction control, 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, 16-inch alloy wheels, and dual front and front-side airbags. It doesn't stop there, however, with automatic headlights, foglights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror also standard on the 2005 XG350 STD.
The only additions for 2005 are carpeted floor mats (which hardly seem significant next to the standard set of leather upholstery and leather trim for the door, shifter, and steering wheel), power front seats, a full set of power features, heated mirrors, a garage-door opener, remote entry, a security system, trip computer, wheel-mounted cruise control, CD player, intermittent wipers, and front and rear air conditioning. Rear seats split-fold 60/40 and come with a fold-down armrest, and the trunk holds 15 cubic feet.
Options are few for the 2005 XG350 STD, but you can add a new 8-CD changer. Drivers like the trunk space, quiet ride, and long list of standard features in the XG350 STD, but wish it had a more powerful engine and better mileage than 18/26 mpg city/highway.

Rolling the Dice in Paradise
High-stakes backgammon players flock to Monte Carlo to pit themselves against the competition and soak in the opulence
Michael Kaplan
From the Print Edition:
Tom Selleck, Nov/Dec 2007
In poker it's the riffling of chips. In backgammon it's the rumbling of dice. Either way, when that very distinct sound reverberates from multiple sources simultaneously, you can assume that something serious is transpiring. In both instances, it is the percussive sound of people playing a game that seems simple on the surface but is brain-bendingly complex at its highest level. Such is the case as I watch the action in Monte Carlo at the Fairmont Hotel.
The Mediterranean Sea, visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the Fairmont, is an illustration of affluence, punched up by yachts, private helicopters and cruise ships. Inside a nondescript ballroom at the hotel, which could be located anywhere from Newark to Naples, there's also plenty of affluence, but you'd never know it. People are dressed down, Champagne is not on offer and the energy is focused on rolling dice and moving checkers around a felt-topped board.
On some levels, this event, dubbed the World Backgammon Championship, feels like a throwback to the old days of poker, to a time when the World Series served as the centerpiece of an unambitious universe, populated by players focused on the game and unconscious of marketing opportunities. With a prize pool that is modest by Hold'em standards—1,000 euros to enter, first place pays a bit more than $100,000—these people play because they are passionate about backgammon.
While a handful of successful hustlers are in attendance—including one who's so press-averse that not being included in this story was a condition of his competing in Monte Carlo—most of the players are affluent guys who love the game but have built considerable wealth elsewhere. They're gentlemen gamblers, like Freddie Chamanara. Drawn to risk, Chamanara's suitably set up so that he can blow $100,000 on TV's "High Stakes Poker" and walk away with nothing more than a shrug of disappointment.
"Compared to poker, backgammon is very cruel; there is a lot of luck, there is no discipline required and the game can suddenly change," the Chicago-based Chamanara says, before settling into a match for $1,000 a point, where getting shellacked could constitute a six-figure loss. "I come out here for the action. I love the side action. But I also love Monte Carlo."
Indeed, for many this event is as much a social occasion as it is an opportunity to play a difficult game against a particularly competitive field. Much like the World Series of yore (which poker veteran Mickey Appleman once dubbed "a convention of gamblers"), the World Backgammon Championship is at least partially about renewing friendships, settling old scores and evening up on debts that had incurred during the year. And a nicer place to do this doesn't exist.
Situated along France's Mediterranean coastline (but officially in the independent principality of Monaco), Monte Carlo is home to Alain Ducasse's first restaurant, a three-star Michelin called Le Louis XV (order the foie gras and pigeon if you eat there, then finish up with a selection from the restaurant's cigar cave), stunning beachfronts and the world's most elegant hotel/casino: Hotel de Paris along with its adjacent Casino de Monte-Carlo, which both date back to the nineteenth century and, in a lot of ways, remain pretty much unchanged.
Fittingly, this particular backgammon tournament has been held here for 30 or so years, and the location nicely dovetails with the game's enduring image. It's long been the hobby of choice for jet-setters, European sophisticates, wealthy Americans and those who enjoy trafficking in that world. One participant here likes to talk about having taught Hugh Hefner to play backgammon aboard the Playboy pasha's private jet. Others have squared off against Arab potentates, Russian oil oligarchs and Hollywood icons. Because players follow the money, Gstaad, Cannes and Monte Carlo have long been stopping points for those who seek the steepest action.
When in Monte Carlo, the highest rollers all love Hotel de Paris with its old-world oak-accented suites and sophisticated party atmosphere that defines this locale in high season.
Despite those refinements, some people are drawn here purely by the game. They travel to Monte Carlo for opportunities that are financial rather than social. And, more often than not, they possess brains that eclipse their bankrolls. Case in point is a Belushi-proportioned genius named Matvey Natanzon. He is known as Falafel, and, by looking at him, it'd be easy to assume that he earned his moniker in the fry shops of downtown Tel Aviv. But in truth, Falafel, who was born in Russia and moved to Israel at age 4, spent his teenage years near Buffalo and received his nickname while playing backgammon for bucks in the parks of Lower Manhattan. On the road to game-playing enlightenment, he eked out a living and fortified himself on fried balls of ground chickpeas.

Click an image for a stereo view.
Ctrl-PgDn cycles through all images.
There are currently 2 robotic rovers on mars--Spirit and Opportunity-- taking lots of beautiful stereo image pairs. The images on this page were found in the "Raw Images" section of NASA's mars rover page. That page includes a link to some of their published 3D images, but they all use the horrible red-green anaglyph format. Because they also provide their raw data it is possible to create better stereo presentations. This page uses a wonderful stereo applet by Andreas Petersik that allows users to view stereo image pairs using their prefered format such as cross-eyed and parallel views in addition to red-green anaglyphs and other popular formats.
It requires a good bit of exploration and experimentation to select artisticly composed images with good subjects, composition, and a variety of object at several distances for a good 3D effect. The Opportunity rover landed in an extremely flat area and therefore doesn't yield very impressive stereo images. All images on this page were from the Spirit rover which laded in a much more rugged location with interesting clifs and vistas.
The next two images are from Spirit's panoramic camera.
Spirit's panaramic camera takes photographs using one of nine filters on each lens. Unfortunately, the two filter sets contain only one filter in common. So while it is possible to generate color images and stereo images, it is not possible to generate color stereo images with the same RGB filer combinations. This is a terrible shame. Still, I was able to choose a combination that allowed reasonably close left-right matches in two colors to generate a color stereogram but where the green channels are duplicates of the blue channels.

No One Is Mourning the Death of Bitcoin Giant Mt. Gox
Since peaking at more than $1,100 in late November, Bitcoin's trading value has fallen by half. On Wednesday, a Japanese court delivered a death blow to Mt. Gox, once the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, which had collapsed after hackers stole a huge trove of the cryptocurrency from the company's servers. By denying the exchange's application to rebuild under bankruptcy protection, the court sent the exchange hurtling toward liquidation.

Services for Students in the Clark/Williams Graduate Program in the History of Art
Every graduate student is assigned a carrel on the library's upper level. Carrels have an internet hookup; an ethernet card is required to connect with the Williams network.
The Clark collection of 230,000 books, bound periodicals, and auction catalogs is non-circulating. Although books may not leave the library, students may keep books in their carrels. To do so, students may check materials out at the reference desk or at self-check stations located on the Upper Level and the Mezzanine. Students may access their Millennium accounts to renew books, check holds/recalls, and keep track of what they have checked out.
Interlibrary Loan
A strong interlibrary loan program is available through our membership in a museum/art library consortium and OCLC, a worldwide library service and research organization. ILL requests can be made through the ILLiad online request service (accounts are created for all incoming students).
Black-and-white or color photocopies are available upon request for a fee. Requests made Sunday through Thursday are usually ready by 10:30 a.m. the next day. Please note that there are no self-service photocopy machines.
Visual Resources
The Visual Resources Library contains a full range of tools for accessing, editing, and presenting digital images. Facilities are accessible to graduate students whenever the library is open. Reference services are available Monday through Friday during the library's public hours. Students may use the scanners and copystand on a walk-in basis, and are encouraged to make appointments for prior instruction as needed. For information or appointments, visit the Visual Resources Library on the ground floor of the library, e-mail Visual Resources, or call 413-458-0512.
Word-processing and E-mail
The library's public terminals are intended for library research. Word-processing and e-mail activity can take place at your own computer at your carrel, two designated terminals located in the ground-floor annex, and the Williams College computer center.
During fall orientation, the library provides an introductory tour; this is followed early in the semester by a bibliographical instruction, as well as orientations to electronic resources and visual resources.
Library Classes and Guides
Library classes are offered, at the instructor's request, to acquaint students with resources and research skills appropriate to the subject matter and requirements of the course. Each class includes a library guide or bibliography.

Help Identify .416 rifle
Hello All!, My Grandad and I were talking guns this past week end and he ask me about this thing called the internet and If I could find out some information and possibly a value on a gun he has.
He has made several hunts in Africa with a gentleman named George Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman decided to have a few guns custom built and asked my grandad if we wanted to buy one and that he was only going to build 5 of them. Of course my grandad agreed, and owns one of the Hoffman .416 rifles custom built by "E Dumoulin Deleye Herstal". We were just curious an approximate value on such a gun. My grandad couldn't remember if or where he would have put any paperwork that came with it.
His rifle condition is an approximate 8 out of 10.
We have spoke with Mrs. Hoffman and she did confirm that this one one of the 5 that were built. I have sent an email back to the factory to see if they had any documentation or other information.
I understand it is only worth what someone is willing to pay, but you never know, maybe someone here bought one of the remaining 4 rifles.
Thanks for any help........

The Council agreed during Tuesday's meeting to allow the architectural firm Goodwyn Mills and Cawood to begin testing soil at the site, which is across from the Oxford Exchange. That work is needed before construction on the sports complex can begin.
The city filed a 2011 lawsuit against the former architects of the sports complex, Barge, Waggoner, Sumner and Cannon, alleging the firm was negligent in their design after ancient human remains, thought to be Native American, were found buried there. Work was stopped at the site in February 2010 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The city has since met a mitigation plan meant to ensure no more ancient artifacts will be disturbed.
In another matter, the council discussed the need for additional safety measures for drivers at the increasingly busy intersection of Leon Smith Parkway and Friendship Road. The council agreed Tuesday to sign a contract with the Birmingham engineering firm Sain and Associates to begin studies of how to make the intersection safer, including the possibility of installing a traffic light at the intersection.
Sain and Associates will first conduct a study to determine if a traffic signal is needed before drafting plans to put one up at the intersection.
Recent work, including restriping the traffic lanes and adding a blinking light at the intersection, has helped reduce the number of accidents, but more work is needed, said Councilman Chris Spurlin.
"It's better, but we're still having wrecks," Spurlin said. "It's time to do something."
Speaking with an engineer at Sain, Waits said he was told that low-speed, rear-end collisions may increase as a result of a traffic light, but the more dangerous, high-speed collisions would likely decrease.
The council also decided Tuesday to move up the time at which pre-meetings are held by 15 minutes to give council members more time to discuss city business.
Those meetings, which are open to the public and give the council and mayor time to discuss matters before they come to a vote, were held at 5:45 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Council meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. on those days. Pre-meetings will now be held at 5:30 p.m.
In other business, the council:
• Annexed .34 acres, to be zoned R-1 (Residential) at 602 Lane Road in Talladega County, owned by Lorrie McKinney.
• Authorized the mayor to buy fencing, fence gates and related supplies from Oxford Fence Company for $10,200 for the city's youth sports complex. Gates on dugouts are a requirement in order to host Dixie Youth League baseball tournaments, said Council President Steven Waits.
• Agreed to enter into a contract with Ingenuity Inc. to redesign the city's website and provide ongoing website hosting support for a period of three years.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The seventh-ranked University of Arkansas women's golf team shot a 279 and is in second while seniors Emma Lavy and Emily Tubert are tied for third in the first round of the Alamo Invitational in San Antonio, Texas, Sunday.
"We got off to a strong start today," said Arkansas head coach Shauna Estes-Taylor. "We've been really working mentally and focusing on getting out to a hot start. The conditions were really favorable today and I'm really proud of our seniors. Two 68s out of them is great. The rest of the group just really fought hard. Regina had two birdies in her last holes. It was a group effort today.
"The team stayed really patient and we are right where we want to be and in contention," Estes-Taylor continued. "We have two days to go and we need to stick to the plan and take it one stroke at a time. I'm proud of our start but we have to put it behind us and get back to work and get out to a good start the next two days,"
Seniors Emma Lavy and Emily Tubert are tied for third place overall shooting 68s. Lavy, a Fayetteville, Ark., native, opened strong with three consecutive birdies on a busy scorecard. She bogeyed the sixth and 10th holes but rallied with a birdie on 11 and an eagle on the 13th hole as her solid round continued.
Lavy finished with a birdie on the 15th hole, a bogey on 16 and back-to-back pars to close with a 68.
Tubert's, a Burbank, Calif., native, wasn't nearly as colorful. She opened with a bogey on the first hole then birdied five, seven and eight to turn two-under. She added birdies on the 13th and 18th holes for her four-under 68.
Sophomore Regina Plasencia was also under par firing a two-under 70 in the first round. Plasencia began her round with four par holes before counting a four on the par five fifth hole to turn one-under. She moved to even with a bogey on the 11th but a strong finish saw her birdie the 16th and 17th holes to close with a 70. Plasencia is tied for 13th overall
Sophomore Gabriela Lopez posted a one-over 73 and is tied for 39th while freshman Summar Roachell is tied for 49th with a 74. Lopez opened with eight consecutive par holes before a bogey on the ninth hole. She moved back even with a birdie on the 11th. She remained even through the 13th hole when she counted back-to-back bogeys. Lopez got one shot back on the 16th hole and finished with a pair of pairs for her 73.
Roachell opened her round with a bogey and counted a two on the par three eighth hole turning even. She would remain even through the 17th but suffered back-to-back bogeys to finish with a 74.
Fifth-ranked Oklahoma is the first round leader shooting a 10-under 278. The seventh-ranked Razorbacks are second at nine under with a 279 followed by No. 17 Florida with 280, No. 46 Texas A&M with 281 and No. 25 LSU and host UTSA are tied for fifth with 285.
The rest of the field includes No. 43 SMU with 287, No. 44 Florida State and No. 49 TCU with 289, No. 40 Louisville, Tennessee and No. 18 Tulane with 290, Texas State with 292, Texas with 295 and Baylor with 297.
Play continues with second round action Monday.

The sys admin's daily grind: Miredo
Exploring the Tunnel
The move from IPv4 to IPv6 must be gradual rather than abrupt. After just two minutes of configuration work, Charly leans back and watches his first IPv6 packets pass through a Miredo tunnel.
Network component manufacturers are still spreading the dread tidings: IP addresses are becoming scarce. Stories spread of large access providers buying out smaller ones to get their hands on their IPv4 address pools. If you prefer not to be a victim of the digital famine, you need to switch quickly, says the industry that offers IPv6-capable switches and gateways.
But really, not many access providers can give you native IPv6. In fact, in the context of discussions on IPv6, the word "move" doesn't seem to be all that appropriate. "Co-location" sounds more like it but does tend to remind one of grammar lessons at school. "Dual-tracking" is maybe the best option, because a peaceful coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 is likely to become the rule, rather than the exception, in the near future.
If you are a customer with an IPv4 provider and would like to add IPv6 to your home network, many tunneling solutions are around that you can try. Configuring them will typically require admin-level skills and is probably beyond the ability of less experienced users, who simply want to explore the field. Teredo solves this problem. The technology, which was developed by Microsoft, sets up an IPv6 tunnel behind a NAT router and automatically distributes the required addresses. Teredo encapsulates the IPv6 payload in v4 UDP datagrams. The Teredo RFC 4380 points out that this is simply an interim solution – other people have been known to refer to it as a "dirty hack."
This Is Not What Problems Look Like
Whatever your opinion, however, Teredo isn't a bad choice for some cautious, initial steps toward IPv6. Setting up Teredo requires virtually no configuration work, and clients are available for any recent operating system. For example, the Linux Miredo [1] client is included with practically any popular distribution. On my Ubuntu lab machine, all I needed to do was type:
apt-get install miredo
to both install the client and start the service. In less than a minute, I had a working IPv6 connection with a prefix of 2001::/32, as defined by the RFC (Figure 1), even though my client resides behind no fewer than two NAT gateways.
Miredo doesn't need a modified kernel; instead, it runs completely in userspace. Although you need to launch Miredo as root to define the required interface parameters, it de-escalates its privileges to nobody after launch. The -u username option lets you specify a user other than nobody. Some distros create a miredo account during the installation.
Finally, a word about security: Whereas NAT routers, which just about every DSL user in the IPv4 world has, put up some kind of protection against undesirable access, IPv6 tears down these barriers. If you are worried about delving into ip6tables, you should at least bind all services suitable for this purpose to localhost (::1).

text: Love oysters? Then have we got a pearl for you: Apalachicola, the tiny coastal town known as the oyster capital of the world. On your way into Apalach (as the locals say), stop shy of the first bridge and duck into Angelo & Son's for a taste of the world-famous mollusks. The eatery overlooks Ochlockonee Bay (where the restaurant catches its fresh seafood). And the most delicious oysters you've ever tasted cost just four bucks a dozen. Once you arrive, check into the Bryant House. Tucked off the main road, the B&B has quiet, well-separated rooms at some of the best rates in the area. Breakfast is German-style complete with homemade jams, organic eggs, and a variety of meats and cheeses. They also have a detached cottage for groups or for peeps with pets. Wander through the maze that surrounds Market Street and find outstanding thrift, antique, and curiosity shops at every turn. Explore authentic nautical finds at the Tin Shed. Hit Apalachicola Sponge Company for all-natural goat's milk soap. Don't miss The Old Time Soda Fountain and their phenomenal hot fudge (93 Market Street; 850-653-2606). Too hot? Opt for the Gulf Breeze. The magical drink combines the colorful coolness of sherbet with soda. For dinner, get thee to Tamara's Cafe. The wine list is solid, and the fresh fish and Key lime pie are on point. When the sun sets, Apalach gets even slower. For those not ready to succumb to the lull, there's a wine bar called Verandas. The patio overlooks downtown and the stars beyond. For some local culture, there's the Dixie Theatre, which hosts film fests, performances, and local music acts (think Dixieland jazz). St. George Island State Park is frequently named one of the best beaches in the U.S. It's easy to find a quiet spot along the miles of undeveloped Florida coastline. Fishing enthusiasts go for the flounder, redfish, sea trout, pompano, whiting, and Spanish mackerel. The state park also has camping facilities for the more adventurous. The world is your oyster.

I was/am frustrated that the Waze wiki templates for highway shields isn't working reliably for US or state highways. What I've found is that the simple template is referring to a static location for thumbnails and the files have recently either been purged or reorganized.
The wikipedia pages for highways and freeways use a series of what look to be very complex templates. One of the main ones appears to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Jct/abbrev/USA.
I cannot find a way to reference an external template, so if that's possible, that would mostly solve my problem if someone could point out how to do that.
If not possible, how can we get a reliable way to access, via a template, the various images of interstate and highway shields found on wikipedia?

I worked at Whirlpool full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Whirlpool (previously Maytag Cleveland Cooking Products) had an apprenticeship program, which allowed anyone who could pass the entrance exam and get through the inteview process to begin a career in maintenance. A four year program (part time) at the local college (Electro-mechanical maintenance certification) ALL EXPENSES PAID !!!!! Concurrently, there was three years of hands-on apprenticeship, with the guys who actually kept the place running and have done so for up to 30 years. WONDERFUL Opportunity !!!!!!
Cons – What can I say, it's ALL about the bottom line. I wish it weren't so, but as the cost of living continued to rise, the pay stagnated. Our annul raises only covered the additional cost of benefits.
UnfortunateIy, I had to leave the company to fnd more gainful employment. 10 + years of experience out the door.
Advice to Senior Management – It's ALL about the bottom line, companies have made that all to clear to their employees.
A persons loyalty to their employer is in great part tied to how well that they can supply their families needs. I suggest a quarterly profit sharing bonus structures implementation would help tremendously. Quality, attendance and LOYALTY to the company would soar to new heights.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Deep an talented Nets team
posted at 7/11/2013 10:55 PM EDT
This team is stacked:
Williams / Taylor / Livingston
Johnson / Terry
Pierce / AK47 / Shengalia
KG / Evans / Blatche / Teletovic
Lopez / Plumlee
Watching Plumlee's explosiveness and athleticism in summer league, having Evans on a ridiculously affordable deal, Blatche showing a comback last season and having the Wiz pay him, getting the HUGE upgrade at PF and SF with the Celtics trade, and now getting AK47 for pennies ...

Baring injuries, this team should be favored to play the Heat in the ECF in 2014. Not great news for trader Danny and that 2014 first round pick.
I think Doc would jeezz his pants over the lineup possibilities. Just the fact that you can have either Lopez or KG on the floor for the entire game ... pairing KG and Evans, KG and Blatche, Lopez and KG.
PP and KG finally have help at their spots. AK47 is a starter on a .500 team. They can go super-small with DWill, Terry, JJ, Pierce, Lopez and really stretch the floor ...
Yikes! I think I might be turning into a Nets fan.

AK47 is a great signing. He will give them defensive minutes on Carmello and Lebron. Pierce cannot run after these guys for 40 minutes anymore. They will share the playing time and defensive tasks.
On paper the team looks scary good. Will they share the ball and all be happy though? If Pop coached that team, he would put Pierce or Johnson as a 6th man. They both have big egos, so I am not sure Kidd will be able to manage them.
Johnson and Pierce are overpaid. AK47, Evans, and Blatche have cheap contracts, so it evens out in the end. When you have an owner willing to pay anything to win, you can buy yourself a nice roster in the NBA.

IF they can stay healthy, they can contend. i still wonder if it's too big a risk to trust all of this to jason kidd, who hasn't coached before. to me, if you're going "all in" like NJ is doing, you don't entrust that kind of investment to a rookie coach who may not command the respct of guys who are nearly his age. but that's just me.

i think the nets will come up way short if they lean on KG / Pierce for starter efforts and THINK that either or both will do heavy lifting in the playoffs IF they are played reg season over 25 mins / game.
the celts overused both of these cats badly the last three years. to be OLD and ELITE you have to go really light on the old players for the reg season but keep them well conditioned and ready to go. doc didn't do that. partially last season because we had no back up to rondo (again) and pierce had to try to play point guard which really worked out poorly. jersey won't do that but you look at what they have and imagine pierce and kg at a combined 20 ppg and then figure out where the rest of the scoring comes from..... i can't quite figure it out.

I think that if Joe Johnson finds a shooting niche, the Nets will have a really good half court game. They will likely be playing a slow down game so the KG and Pierce can contribute a larger percentage.
posted at 7/12/2013 4:24 PM EDT
In response to prakash's comment:
There are major differences here. The Nets actually have a 5. So KG will be playing 4. He will be backed up by Blatche or Kirilenko or Evans, depending upon the matchup. The Nets will have serious issues if KG has to play 5. They will be really exposed at 4.
blatche will be a major project for KG- i thought when blatche was a rook, before the "double hooker" incident in toronto and the "living in the stadium because he was broke" that he might be the next KG. but yikes. blatche has never contributed a damn thing on a team that was going ANYwhere.
johnson & pierce could wind up to be a poisonous mix if either/both do not "get their touches". pierce was never made into the 6th man that he should have been by doc the blochead rivers so he's got to start from ground zero on learning about "less touches can mean more wins".....
don't get me wrong- NJ will be better than we were last year, i just think the tall russian is a bozo for winging his money around the way he is FOR THE PARTS HE"S GOTTEN. for 186 million down the tubes, i want a team that stands a great chance to topple Miami. i don't see any 3/4 defensive stoppers there. nor any 2 defensive stoppers. and so, lebwrong and wade will probably step all over them. you have to make up a lot of distance with BROOK lopez, hope his rebounding per min stays up career high like it was last year.
they could come out of the east. but if i was the ruskie i'd keep tinkering. kirilenko could either be a complete flat liner or give you something meaningful, about 50/50. and he spent 15 million plus on that 50/50 bet after lux tax. (:-O

The Nets are built for the post season.
I don't think that integration will be that tough for them. With Frank as an assistant to teach Docs method, and KG to be the example of pass first basketball, and defense. the integration should not be as painful as other super teams. The nets hired the leaders of the team first prototype, and they will likely do well.
Kirelenko was a great addition. He is a defensive beast, able to guard Lebron as well as almost anyone. At 6'9" and a 7'4" wing span, he and the Nets will be able team defend Lebron, like the Celtics did when he was in Cleveland.
On offense:
There will be no cheating off Nets offensive players. All are offensive threats.
It is likely that KG and Pierce will play limited minutes during the regular season, now that the bench is also strong. During the pay-offs, look for them to play as many minutes as it takes.
I like their chances against anyone.
It will be a pleasent distraction while we try to survive lottery ball.

posted at 7/13/2013 10:48 AM EDT
Your right, they are "old".
The thing that I have to admire about the Nets management, including Kid, is that they recognized their team's weakness' and filled the gap nicely.
Teams with young studs, have players that need to get their shots, and minutes to make their rep and paycheck. Veterans, especially KG, have established their rep and made their paychecks. Winning is the most important thing. While I could never see Howard and Kobe coexisting, I can see KG and Pierce leading by example, passing the ball, and playing defense. I think that Nets management saw the missing intangible and tangilble ingredients, got them, and are making a championship cake.
They may be old, but in the playoffs, where there are no back to back games, I think they can still play at a high level. If you throw in a great supporting cast, they no longer need to do everything themselves.

I like the way they are built. They haveeverything you need to win. KG is going to turn Lopez into a beast. Johnson is going to get so many open looks. AK47 will get all the tough defensive assignments. Terry may win 6th man of the year because he will be a scoring machine off the bench.
If they stay healthy, they beat the HEAT.

Your right, the biggest variable should be health.
